Now, who doesn't like a schnazzy t-shirt? Losers. Know what you are not? A loser.

I was sad it wasn’t influenza, then I wanted it to be meningitis because I’d been pushing for brain fever. So I’m 0 for 2 on Emily. Microbes have betrayed me once again!
Love that Randolph’s totally banging her secretary. Also love Owen’s anti-English IRISH RAGE, but just because he’s playing up to a stereotype doesn’t mean it’s not a totally
hothistorically accurate one. Also love the riot/strike by the kitchen workers, yeah! That’s how you write a period piece with minorities, folks.I’m sorry it wasn’t the microbe of your choice. ;-) I was pretty excited though to see polio brought into the story. It’s something Westerners don’t typically think about these days.
Owen and the kitchen workers are the kinds of storylines I’m really enjoying as secondary plotlines on the show. I like that we’re getting some ISSUES and not just the basic bootlegging and gangsters storyline I’d expected when the show first started. (Not that I don’t enjoy scenes like Jimmy throwing Doyle over the balcony and showing what a badass he is or Manny putting a cleaver in somebody’s head.)
